A Chinese American woman is confronted by two African American men while riding a commuter train. Their verbal exchange first shows the tensions between two cultures, then reveals thought-provoking possibilities for human relationships. This is an excellent short narrative to elicit discussions about communications between peoples of color, inter-ethnic understanding and stereotypes.
